About our shower tray repair in Romford
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, in ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

FAQs for Romford
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Romford?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Romford?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Romford?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Romford for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
When to call us in Romford
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
